You would have to unbend the open ends of the clamp that hold the leaf springs together. Should you do that they might break when you try to rebend them closed, or not close tight enough without significant application of some serious heat. For what it’s worth I had my leaf springs sandblasted without disassembling them, and painted them with Tremclad Black. Over 5,000 miles of trailing later all is still well.

It took me a lot of digging but I found these bushings to fit my leaf spring shackles.
They were part # HB-735. They come in a pack of 12 I believe, for about $8.00.
Double check your sizes!!!!!
